- How good is the West Coast on a good day? We hunted some new country exploring up high along some West Coast tops. Sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenery New Zealand has to offer and check out this old mine! It's unbelievable people used to work up there, they'd be a tough breed that's for sure... Does anyone know any more about the old mines on the coast? If so leave a comment below, we'd love to learn more!

Amazing landscape! Unreal.....great job. Love you guys work more please!
It always amazes me how they got some of that gear up to that mine!Nice easy top travel but obviously no deer, about?
They would've been some bloody tough buggers that's for sure! Just found the goats, couldn't get onto any deer or Chamois this time round
@@southislandriflewalkers5545 Its lucky weather was good,gets a little hetic up there when the fog or snow whites you out,i am a bit older than you blokes but i know to use a compass and dead reckoning,but have spent some rough wet nights on the hill and now i wonder why iam aching!But its bloody good to see some young fellas out giving it a go!
beautiful country great filming in last 2 mins
This is such a perfect horror film / novel scenario!
Beaut vid lads, dunno how I missed this one! That drone has been paying dividends with unreal footage
spectacular upload South Island Rifle Walkers. I smashed the thumbs up on your video. Keep on up the awesome work.
Thanks mate we appreciate it!
Best channel on the tube, cheers guys
🙏🍻
Beaut scenery boys🤘
Can't beat Westland on a good day
Loving the drone shots team. Gotta keep those stinkys under control 🤙🤙
Cheers mate its been a fun addition to the pack. For sure, would take the .223 or .17 next time though
@@southislandriflewalkers5545 .17 is getting light unless rabbits etc. Goats can hold their lead at times & while plenty have been shot plenty with a .22 some of them would have preferred a .223 etc. And you might get a surprise encounter a heavier calibre like .223 up will help with there.
Some stuff has been recorded about the mining there, can't recall the publication (dementia sucks but keep meeting new people...). Seem to recall the gear is for the aerial ropeway that transported the mineral down.
Awesome video and great footage and scenery, thanks guys, keep it up and best regards,
Cheers 🍻
Looks to be the tops above Griffin Creek, where I worked for NZ Forest Service in the 1980s. Great videos guys, thanks.
You're bang oh the money there mate, pretty awesome spot
great footage, what was the track did you use to climb on top of the mountain?
8:00 yeah brus! haha, good vid Bros
Good stuff boys, surley there’s easier goats than that haha looks like chamois country
Hahah yeah we were hanging out for a Chamois, it was a good bit of training before fiordland regardless 😄
Epic country, been meaning to get up in that area so awesome to see some good quality footage of it! FYI - serpentine is one of the minerals mined for Asbestos fibers, so if you're ever out near a serpentine mine again, I don't recommend scratching around in it too much (unless you want cancer...). Nice vid :)
Cheers for the tip! Never knew!
Good work. Hunters for conservation
You boy's need a sponsorship from that new plastic case ammo company that's 30% lighter so you can carry that many more rounds per trip for eradication.
Eradication has a definition. So does control. And then there is rec hunting, which is all good unless where control is being done, for the same reason getting into an area and finding it has been partly shot up can irritate.
imagine getting the pump and motor up the mountains before the helicopters came along
Would've taken a huge effort in some shocking weather I'd imagine
@@southislandriflewalkers5545 hell yes it wouldn't happen these days for many reasons
Hi boys great vids,what tripod do you recommend for your P900
Cheers mate, we've currently got a slik mini 2. Probably a little lightweight for the camera, gets a bit of shake at full zoom in the wind but it's nice and lightweight.
Hey boys I was wondering if u guys would know any good spots for some goats around Canterbury?
There's bloody tonnes up around Kaikoura
@@southislandriflewalkers5545 alright cheers mate
I remember when Kaikoura was part of Marlborough. 😜
Mjau
Swedish meow
What area were you in?
Inland from Hokitika 👌
@@southislandriflewalkers5545 Cool. My Grandma and G.Grandma used to live in Dunollie some years ago. Mum was from Runanga.
G.Grandma was a Geordie and had a hunter friend used to bring in pigs blood so she could make her black pudding.
My Nan was chief cook at Greymouth Hospital, retired around the 1970 mark.
Goats are many things but they sure as hell aren't game animals.
You're right there, not much sport in stalking a goat compared to any other ungulate species we have here!
They are good practice shooting for the novice hunters.I shot a lot as a young fellow in the 70’s when the intense effort from helicopters in Marlborough, had made seeing a handy deer near on impossible. I used a 303 with open sights so had to learn stalking skills & good shot placement. A plus from any hunt was a huge set of billy goat horns to hang on the wall.
@@southislandriflewalkers5545 Try doing actual meaningful control, not just shooting a few and educating those too good. They are really sharp once wised up, hence their distribution and persistence, they need re-eradicating far too often..
Got a heap of good meat there boys, how do you like to eat it
Usually in a curry or the slow-cooker, more often for the family dog 😂
@@southislandriflewalkers5545 lol if in doubt mince it mate!
@@southislandriflewalkers5545 Nothing wrong with leaving it for fertilizer. Some species it's preferable to get some out, reality is some make a lot of effort for some really rubbish meat. Don't condone wasting major venison due to periodic commercial meat recovery, Other species are otherwise worthless so personal values affect recovery choices.
Wen u guy's kill so many goat's do u arvest all di meat r u leave sum 2 waist???...
